The drawings" show but one side of the win- 'dowi The other. side willbe of the same construction 'asxthat side illustrated. The drawings showbut one side of each of the sashes, but

the other side of each sash would be similar to 0 is a pair of slides.Each slide of a pair is of kc construction. Each slide is formed of twoportions of different widths. The portion of greatest width of a slideis of less length than the other portion and arranged at one end of theslide. The slides for the lower sash are oppositely disposed withrespect to the slides of the upper sash. The portions of greatestwidth-of the slides for the upper sash are arranged at the upperterminal parts thereof and are formed by laterally &- setting the slidesoutwardly as hereinafter referred to and indicated. The portions ofgreatest width of the slides for the lower sash are arranged at theupper terminal parts thereof and are formed by laterally off-setting thelower slides outwardly as hereinafter referred to and indicated. Thedrawings show but one slide of each pair.

In the drawings, 1 indicates the window-sill, 2 the top frame member, 3aside frame member, 4 the stationary section of a jamb structure 5, 6the slidable section .of the latter, '7 the lower sash, 8 the uppersash, 9 a vertically movable sustaining weight within structure-5, l0and 11 a .pair' of spaced guide strips which extend from member 2 tosill 1 and are secured to-member 3,

12 one of the slides of the upper pair of slides, 13 one of the slidesof the lower pair of slides, and 14 a flexible sustaining member, suchas a sash cord or chain which is common to. the slides 12, 13 andcoactswith the sustaining weight 9.

The frame member 3 is-formed lengthwiseoi itsinner face with a groove 15conforming in contour to. the shape of jamb section 4. The latterisarranged in groove 15 and secured to member 3 byholdfast devices 16.The section 4 is formed with a pair of oppositely inclined parts 17, 18merging into each other at their inner sides and also merge at theirouter sides into a pair of spaced parallel straight parts 19, 20respective,-

ly which terminate into a pair of spaced parallel channel-shaped parts21, 22 respectively ar ranged within section 4 and opposing the innerfaces of the parts 19, 20 respectively. The parts 19, 20, 21 and 22 ofsection 4 are flush with the grooved face of member 3.

The slidable jamb section 6 includes a pair of oppositely inclined parts22', 23 which are oppositelydisposed with respect to the, parts 1'7, 18of the section 4. The parts 22, 23 at their outer sides merge into apair of spaced parallel straight parts 24, 25 which slidably extend intothe channel-shaped parts 21, 22 respectively of the section 4. Thesection 6 extends outwardly from the section 4 and the parts 22', 23thereof at its inner sides merge-into an extension 26 which constitutesa parting bead. The parting bead 26 is common to the slides 12, 13 andalso common to the major portion of the length of one side of the'upperand lower sashes. The extension 26 includes a front 27 and a pair ofsides 28, 29. The side 28 extends from part 22' and the side 29 frompart 23. Theupper portion of side 28 is of channel-shaped contour as at30 and opens outwardly at right angles to side 29. The lower portion ofside 28 is straight and disposed outwardly at right angles to part 22.The

lower portion of side 29 is of channel-shaped contour, as at 31 andopens outwardly at right anglesto side 28. The upper portion of side 29is straight and disposed outwardly at right angles to part 23. Securedto the inner face of the parts 22', 23 at the upper portions thereof isthe closed frontof a vertically disposed stationary channelshapedelement 32 which extends from the top portion of bar 43 is offsetlaterally as at 50.

and terminates at the lower end of the channelshaped portion 30. Theelement 32 is open at its top, bottom and rear. Supported by andarranged at the upper end of element 32 is a pulley 33 whichextends intothe channel-shaped portion 30. Supported by and arranged at the lowerend of element 32 is a pulley 34 which extends into the channel-shapedportions 30. The channel-shaped portions 30, 31 are oppositely disposedand provide a pair of guide channels, one for that portion 14 of thesustaining member 14 which associates with the upper sash 8 and theother for that portion 14" of the sustaining member 14 which associateswith the lower sash '7. The portions 14', 14" of the member 14 pass overthe tops of the pulleys 33, 34 respectively. The pulley 33 is of greaterdiameter than pulley 34. The

sustaining'weight 9 carries a pulley 35 around the bottom of whichpasses the member 14.

The sustaining weight 9 straddles the element 32 during the elevatingand lowering movement thereof. The jamb structure 5 is formed withopenings 36, 3'? respectively for the passage of the pulleys 33, 34.

The section 6 of the jamb structure 5 is spring 1 controlled by a pairof adjustable members 38, 39 carrying coiled springs 40 which abut theinner face of said section. The members 38 and 39 are arrangedrespectively within the upper and lower ends of and extend through thesec- 1 tion 6 of jamb structure 5. The top frame 2 is formed with amortise 41 into which extends the upper end of jamb structure 5. Themortise 41 provides a clearance for the outerend of member 38. The lowerend of jamb structure 5 is mount- 1 ed upon a plate 42 countersunk insill 1.

The upper slides 12 are of like construction and oppositely disposed andeach includes an oblong bar. 43 having its outer face conforming inshape to part 22' of jamb structure section 6. The front 1 face of bar43 conforms in contour to the outer face of a side 44 of sash 8. Therear face of bar 43 is rabbeted as at 45 and mortised in its top edge asat 46. The upper end of rabbet 45 opens into-mortise 46. The front faceof the 1 side 44 of sash 8 is rabbeted as at 47 and which registers withrabbet 45. The top edge of sash 8 is mortised as at 48 into which opensthe rabbet 4'7. The mortise 48 normally aligns with the mortise 46. Thebottoms of the mortises 46, 48 1 extend inwardly and incline downwardlyfrom the front faces of the sash and bar. The manner in which thebottoms of the mortises are set up is as indicated at.49, Figure 8. Theupper end 1 The width of bar 43 from the lower end of the offset 50 tothe lower end of the bar is less than the width of parting head 26. Thatpart of bar 43. which is laterally offset is greater than the width ofbead 26. The width of the top portion of sash 8 is reduced to provideshoulders 51, only one shown and which is overlapped by the lower end ofoffset 50. The height of bar 43 corresponds to that of the sash 8. Thefront face of sash 8 is grooved as at 52 and which forms a downwardcontinuation of rabbet 47. The reducing of the width of the upperportion of the sash 8 provides for the sash to clear the parting head26. That part of the sash 8 below its upper portion of reduced widthslides against the parting head 26 when the upper slides are verticallyshifted with the sash 8 in non-adjusted position.

Arranged in rabbets 45 and groove 52 is a pivoted latching member 53having a hooked shaped upper end 54 for overlapping the bottoms i of themortises 46, 48. for latching thesash 8 to the slide 12 to prevent itfrom pivoting with respect to the'latter until the member 53' is swungclear? of themortises 46; 48. Fixedly secured to the sash 8 and mountedin the portion of bar43" one shown, areattached: to the sustaining members 14,. only one shown, and with respect tothe bar-4:3 of each upperslide the outer end of, portionli of amember' 1e istanchored', as at-56to said bar 43. The portion 14' extendsinto'a curved groove 57 formed inthe front of the wide portion of. the bar e3. The groove 57 opens into apocket 57' in bar 43 and within the, lower part of the wide portion ofthe pocket is arranged, the anchoring means 56. i l l For the purpose ofmaintainingthesash 8 at various angles with respect to theslid'es 12,the

outward swing of sash 8 on its pivots. qThe stops top frame member 2,-is. provided with a recess 58in its bottom face.- Arranged in recess 58is a keeper 59-. capable of beingengaged by the member 53 to hold thesash8 at various angles with respect to the slides, thepositionydepending upon the position of the slides. See dotted lineshowing, Figure 10, illustrating the coacting of member 53 with respectto keeper 59 forjholding sash 8; at the desiredangular position. CarriedI by guidestrip l0 is-astop 60 of any suitable form andwhichfactstoprevent thepivoting of sash 8 on its slides whenever the bottom rail 61of sash 8 is below the stop. Thestops 60 on guide strips 10 are arrangedin the path of movement of the 60,; maybe locatedat any point desired onstrips 10. The manner of mounting the sash 8 upon the slides thereforpermit of sash 8 being adjusted to various angular positions withrespect to the slides and further permit of it being turned toinside-out position as shown in Figure 10. v

The slides 13'of the lowerg'pair of slides are of like construction andoppositelydisposed. Each includes an oblong bar 61 having itslowerportion formed with a lateral onset 62. The width of bar 61 fromthe upper end of the lateral offset 62! to the upper end of the bar isless than the width of the parting bead-26. That part of the bar 61which is laterallyoffset is greater than the width of'parting head 26. iThe width of the lower portion of the lower sash 7 is reduced to provideits sides with shoulders 63 only one shown. The upper end of offset 62opposes 'a shoulder 63. The reducing of the width of the lower portionof sash 7 further, providesfor the sash to clear the partingbead 26.That part of the sash 7 above its lower portion of reduced width slidesagainst the parting head when the lower slides are vertically shiftedwith the sash 7 in non-adjusted position. A pivot-member 64 is securedto and projects from each side of sash 7 of the portion of reduced widthof thelatter. Each member 6% is mounted in the upper portion of am 61and provides for pivotally suspending the sash 7 with respect'to theslides thereof.

imityto its lower end is formed with apocket 65 and leading thereto isacurved groove 66 arranged at the lower corner of the front face of fromengagement with bar 61.

the wide portion of bar 61. The portion 14" of member 14 passes throughgroove 66;. extends into pocket 65 and is anchored to. barlfil, as at67;

The' sash 7uis latched to slide 13, by a" spring controlledtlatchingmeans 68qand cannot swing relative to theslide until the means 68 ismoved ,The construction and arrangement of the slides 13 and sash 7with'respect to'each other permit of thesashbeing angularly disposedwith respect to the slides, and further permit of the sash 7 beingturned inside-out asq ehown in Figure 10.

Thestrips 10 and 11 in connection with the extension 26 of the jambstructure provide each side frame member 31with a pair of guide groovesor channels 69,70, the former for the slides 12*a'nd the latter for the.slides 13. v

Each sideframe member 3 is; formed of a pair of like oppositely disposedsectionsrabbetedon their inner side faces. The rabbeted portions of saidsections register andprovide the groove 15. The sections of member 3 areindicated at 3", 3" Figures 5 and-17.- The section3 has itsnon--rabbeted side face formed with a lengthwise.

groove 3" for the reception of plaster to-pro-,-

vide a seal between the side of the frame and I the building or in otherwords to provide amoisture and windproof joint.

The iower'slide 13 has an opening orsocket 13, see Figure 15, to receivethe latching means 68., The guide strip 11 is formed with anopeninggorsocket 18; see Figure 10, to receive'thc latching means 68 forthe purpose of latching the sash 7 at an angle with respect to theglowerslide .13 inamanner as shown in Figure 15. 7. The stop 69 will functionto retain the upper saslrl at various angular positions with respect tothe upper slide, because when the upper sash is free'of connection withthe top 2 ofthe frame L" and extended outwardly it will seat againststop 60 and in this connection see Figure 15. 2 When the upper sash 8 isextended at'an angle with respect to the upperslidesand at the same timecoupled and suspended from theframe by the members 53, it cannot beswung downwardly on its pivots or the upper frameymoved down- .wardlywhen-a'downwardpressure is applied to the outer end of the sash. Ifpressure is applied 7' to said outer end, a-binding action will be hadbetween the upper slide and the shiftable jamb sectionsand abindingaction will be set up be,- tween the shiftable and stationary jambsections.

In this connection it will be stated that down ward pressure applied to;the vouter end of the sash will in connection with the members 53 forcetheupper slides against the shiftable jambfsections whereby therearportions of :the latterwill be caused to move inwardlyinto and bind"against the rear portions of the stationary jamb sections.

,ered by pressure upon the innerend of the sash.

To cause the engagement of member- 53 with 7 element 58, the upper. sashis slightly lowered,

swinging slightly outwardly causing member 53 to be, released from theupper: slide. The :upper sash is then moved vertically and'as member 53-is carried by thesash Sit is also elevated so' its upper end will rideagainst the curved surface -53 Figure 16, and bedirected ntoengage overelement 58 whereby the upper sash is detachably suspended from the topof the frame. The members 53when coupled to the frame will be in theupward path of travel of theupper outer corners of the upper slide. Itwill be assumed that the upper sash and members 53 are in the dottedline position, Figure 10, or full line position, Figure 16,now if theupper slide is moved upwardly the upper outer corners thereof will kickout members 53 and the hook ends of the latter will engage in themortises 46, 48 whereby the upper slide and upper sash are latchedtogether.

The stationary section 4 of a jamb structure is formed at each end witha pair of oppositely inclined bendable extensions 4, 4" extending fromthe portions 17, 18 respectively thereof. The extensions project fromthe upper and lower ends of the sections of the side frame member 3.Each pair of extensions are overlapped and secured together in a manneras shown in Figure 18. The upper pair of extensions are secured tothe-lower face of sill 1 and the lower pair to the upper face of'top 2.

The purpose of the extensions on the stationary jamb sections attachedto the head and sill members of the frame is to prevent the frame frompulling apart at the corners where the stationary side jambs are nailedto the head and sill.. The action of the spring controlled jambs and thewedging action of the upper sash when projected cause a horizontalexpansive pressure between the two stationary jamb sections, said jambsdepending on the extensions which are attached to the top and bottom ofthe frame to receive suflicient strength to withstand the horizontalthrust set up by the wedging action of the upper sash, when said uppersash is held in any angular position by the binding action of theshiftable jambs wedged against said stationary jambs;

Figure 12 shows a modified arrangement of pivot means for the sashes andit is illustrated solely in connection with a lower sash, but it is tobe understood that the pivot means to be presently referred to is alsoapplicable to the upper sash. The pivot means consists of a hinge formedof two sections 71, 72 and a pintle or pivot '73 between said sections.The section 71 is fixed to the offset 62 of slide 13 and overlaps thesash 7. The section 72 is fixed to the sash I and overlaps the slideabove oifset 62. The width of the sections '71, 72 are such as toconstitute weather-stripping means at the lower porwhen the upper sashis closed.

With referenceto Figure 13, it shows the upper sash 8 of a formcorresponding to the lower sash and provided with a latching means 75 ofthe same form as the latching means 68. If the means '75 is employed forthe upper sash, then guide strip 11' will be provided with an openingnot shown, to receive the said means 75 to maintain the'upper sash at aninclination as shown with respect to the lower sash, Figure 15, but withthe upper sash extending outwardly at an inclination from top to rear.

Figure 14 shows the shiftable jamb section 6 as provided with a rollerbearing means '76 riding upon plate 42.

The lower face of the top 2 of the'frame is provided with retainingstrips '77 for the sashes when moved to the upper end of the windowopen- 'Weather-strippings are provided to be engaged by the sashes,which are indicated at 78, 79. A weather-strip is carried by the toprail of the upper sash for interposition between such rail and the lowerrail of the upper sash.
